Teleporters are shaped as helicopters but are tricky to use because you need get so close to their center.

Expert 5 tp has a revival but never added to my map even using the tp. Expert 9 did add to my map though.It will be added if you access the TP from another side ... I had the same happening and drove back there again

Currently, avatars do not freeze in place when a quest notification is triggered. Because of this, we've noticed a common practice especially among experience player is to be running and reading the quest dialogue as you move forward in the environment. This might cause you to leave an interaction area before the quest can determine if its appropriate checks have been met to move forward in the quest logic.I recommend you try the following to see if your logic experience improves.When any text notification or quest dialogue box opens up for you, STOP in place immediately, read the dialogue and make your appropriate choices. Then once all notifications and quest dialogues have finished you can move on.This applies especially when driving. Though the gps waypoints can be just driven through without stopping. There is not issue. The issue mainly arises from the dialogue box and not making your choice prior to moving on.

Abandoning quests will allow you to return to the place in the environment that triggered the quest to restart it. I don't advise this practice on ROCKtropia quests as abandoning quests like cell phone missions and other complicated quests can make it difficult for you to restart and even some quests at the very high level will not allow you to restart as the quest is set to give you a one shot opportunity to complete. That being said, we designed the arctic to combat these problems so you can abandon any quests at any point without hindering your progression through the remaining quests. If you do abandon it however it will not just automatically restart. You must return to the NPC or place in the environment where the quest was 1st triggered.As an example lets say you were doing the quest at the second base to restore power to the generator. That quest gets activated when you walk through the front gates of the base. If at any point you abandoned this quest, you need to return to the gates at the front of the base in order to trigger the quest and start again.

Mission at the end is reset if killed, apparently, but it doesn't tell you that. It is also set in a PvP zone where PKers use high end RockTropia gear to slaughter people with the lowend "The Thing" gear, but only RT stuff is useable in this place so, bear that in mid.

Mission reward clothing is (L), replaces armor and has only 10PEC tt (decay is 2PEC to put on).

Flamethrower is recieved from a crate - when used in combat (on "Things" at least) the mob remains on fire.

Today it was announced that ROCKtropia signed a deal with Universal Studios with a small cold planet for the movie The Thing, which will launch in cinemas worldwide right before Halloween - October 14th 2011. The planet will only be accesable from tps on ROCKtropia.

The original 1982 movie "The Thing", directed by John Carpenter and staring Kurt Russell, received several nominations like Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, Best Horror Film and Best Special Effects - and it was voted to contain one of the scariest movie moments of all times (the scene where Kurt Russel is testing everybody's blood to determine which members of his crew have been infected by the Thing).

Now, almost 30 years later, it will be exciting to see if they are able to recreate the atmosphere of fear and horror. One thing is certain, the expectations are high and the 2011 version promises to be equally spooky...

ROCKtropia
RockTropia was the first planet after Calypso to make it into the Entropia Universe on April 6th 2010. Most known for being a ROCK planet - and especially for involving Mötorhead into the virtual Universe. The planet is habitated by Wolves, Zombies, Dragons and Vampires mixed in a world whith parallels to Hollywood and musics.

Later on ROCKtropia expanded with even more content like clubs and DJ's and today the planet also contains a prison from where NEVERDIE in his virtual life and history had to break out - and lately the planet also opened up the gate to hell, where you might or might not meet the Devil himself...

Getting there: As a current participant, the only way to enter this planet is by teleporting there from ROCKtropia.

From 12.0.4 Release Notes: "MindArk proudly presents a new themed planet - Hunt The Thing! It is based on the coming Universal Studios movie with the same title. The landscape is cold, with ice an snow. There is a laboratory there and you can find both scientists and military on site."
